Yes — you can sell just one copy.
elasticStage operates on a fully on-demand production model with no minimum order quantities and no upfront manufacturing costs.
No Minimum Orders
Traditional vinyl pressing plants typically require large minimum orders, often 100–300 units or more. This means creators must pay upfront for inventory, regardless of how many copies they eventually sell.
elasticStage works differently.
If your release sells one copy, we manufacture one copy. If it sells 500 copies, we manufacture 500 copies.
No Inventory Risk
You do not need to purchase stock in advance. There are no boxes of unsold records sitting in storage.
Each vinyl or CD is produced only after a fan places an order.
Your Release Stays Available
Your release remains available for fans to discover and order at any time. Production automatically scales with demand — whether that’s one copy or thousands.
What This Means for You
- No financial risk from unsold inventory
- No need to predict demand
- No minimum sales required
- No upfront pressing costs
This allows you to release vinyl and CDs professionally without the barriers of traditional manufacturing.
